Our car was picked up and delivered earlier than expected, which was a very pleasant surprise. There was 1 small hiccup with the final payment due but was cleared up with 1 phone call. This was a great experience!!!

I needed my truck transported from Bakersfield to Seattle and chose Smart Auto Move of Los Angeles after a friend recommended them. Honestly, best decision. Super friendly team, no surprises on the price, and they delivered a day early. I would use them again if necessary.

I shipped two cars from Chicago to California and Smart Auto Move made the whole process easy. Coordinating two vehicles can be a nightmare, but these folks handled it like nothing. Great communication, solid pricing, and both cars were delivered on time. Five stars without hesitation.

I was having a hard time deciding whether to drive my car or have it shipped; ultimately, it made more sense to have it transported. Smart Auto Move handled my LA-to-Miami car shipment like total pros. They gave me upfront pricing, answered every question, and updated me throughout. My car arrived right on schedule and in perfect shape. A service all around.

Smart Auto Move was a positive experience! The payment never changed and the delivery style (inside/outside) didn't vary either which was a relief. I shipped two cars and they were picked up 3 and 4 days early which isn't a huge deal but I did have to move some plans around. Both drivers were so kind, careful, and communicative. I would fully recommend them and use them again!
